Pac vs Rios starts at 11am, is that a safe time to be fighting?

[The_Sandman]

Exactly. I actually never understood why boxers fight 11pm that is ******ed. You're up ALL day long and are winding down to go to sleep and now you have to fight the biggest fight of your life? A morning fight makes far more sense

Well for some people their activity level is not at their peak in certain times. I'm most active around afternoon after work. That's when I get most of my running and work out in. When I run and work out in the morning I get tired more easily. Which is why some fighters like to train during night time. So their activity level is at their peak at fight time.

[BigZigga]

He'd come in late at about the 7th round.

And still "win" 115-113 on the cards

Have anyone heard of "Thrilla in Manila"? There you go.

[Weebler I]

Are these guys gonna be as vigilant as if they were fighting normal time, will their brains be working right at that time.

Brain is actually sharper in the morning. I know this from studying. Best three hours of study are the three immediately after you get up.

In saying that, some people need an hour or so to wake up completely, they're kind of dopey.

Agreed, night fights are for the fans/casino.

When Forch fought Ward in America, it would have been at about 4am/5am for him, was that fair? The fighter just needs to adjust their train schedule to match the change in time.

He would have been acclimatised, it takes about 4 days to get used to East coast time coming from the UK.

The Pac-Rios situation is different, however my understanding is that Pac v Rios won't take place until 12/1pm over there. It's the undercard which starts earlier.

12 hour difference on the East Coast, they'll start at 12pm at the latest.

Also Rios should come in a week early since it'll be a 15 hour time difference for him.
Pac's already in the Philippines...think it's an hour or two ahead of Macao

[Souwester]

Why would it be early, athletes here in the USA normally play around that time, take for instance football.

[Jam Jars]

They've had months to change their sleep pattern and preparation for the fight, won't be a problem. It's not like they'll be fighting 1 hour after they woke up.

[Slugger_P4P]

What day and time will this be in the UK then? I assume Sunday morning? Saying that it ain't even been confirmed for being on TV over here yet

[thuggery]

I don't know but I'm just glad they're accommodating the time of the fight so it's played live in the US at a reasonable time on PPV.

[SplitSecond]

Why not? People's minds dont work in the morning? I would think fighting late at night is more tiring after being awake all day than in the mornings

The main reason fights happen at night is because that when most people are watching, it doesnt have anything to do with biology

imo, you're better off at night, or afternoon, in the morning you are really not at your best, the body takes awhile to get working to it's full potential after you've been in a comatose stage for 8-10 hours
